World's oldest pants look at lot like today's pants ...

These are the oldest pants in the world. According to Science News, the wool trousers were found during a graveyard excavation in China and are believed to be 3,000 to 3,300 years old -- which is surprising because they seem more intact than Kim Kardashian's jeans from this year. (Sorry, Kim.)

Archaeologists say the old threads resemble modern riding pants and support the idea that nomadic herders in Central Asia invented pants for better mobility on horseback. They previously wore gowns and robes with individual leggings.

As old as they are, many people seem to think they'd fit right in with today's fashion.

One blogger said they were, "kinda hippie lookin'" and "could have been purchased in a parking lot outside a String Cheese Incident concert."

Agree with you. Been wearing Levi for 70 years. It was the uniform of the day all summer when I was a kid. Today Levi are not as durable as before. Found that the ones made in Egypt last linger because of the cotton used. The ons from Mexico , Gautamala rip in the Najee's very quick. They also vary size. I have found many that are sized wrong by the waist and length inverted. Also a x34. Can be a 36 ,or 32 size . The cotton used in Egypt seams to be more durable that what they use in the other countries. Agree that it was better quality when they were made in theUSA.

Sorry about the spelling, seam the I pad does its own thing. PS you get moocho buck selling your old Levi to the young in Europe . They pay double for you ripped knees with paint stain splashed all over them .

I cannot stand jeans. I don't find them comfortable at all. But back in the 70s when I did wear them occassionally, no one wanted "new" looking jeans. Well once they got over the painted on jordace fad anyway.
